Can I replace those locks myself?

I think if you replace yourself, you might be in violation of your home insurance, some companies have a clause to sya you need to have a professional locksmith do this. Might be worth checking

What insurance company’s? All they ask is what type of lock you have fitted, not who fitted it.

As long as the pvc door has a 5 point locking system this satisfies  most insurance companies and renewing the barrel which takes all of few minutes would differently not require a locksmith.The fewer people who have access to you keys the better.
As to the mortise lock it should be a 5 lever lock minium. From the photo it appears to be a 5 lever lock
Lock smith cost £285 For 2 barrels and mortise

So would a steel door with a 15 point locking system and dead bolts be a bit of an overkill ?

Not the best solution in a fire
